Created by Laumes (Goda Budvytytė and Viktorija Rybakova), the book El Plástico, the Sun that lives inside the Rock is an observation on the evolution of material plasticity; it is a story about plastic whose native land is Mesoamerica. It explores the past, present, and future of plastic through encounters with various people — a weaver from Oaxaca, a taxi driver, a sociologist working on trash collection in Mexico City, and the owner of a small family-run plastic factory. The book contains a polymorphous project resulting from several years of research by artist Viktorija Rybakova and designer Goda Budvytytė. It includes a conversation between philosophers Kristupas Sabolius and Catherine Malabou, as well as essays by Post Brothers and Chris Fitzpatrick. This book launch and wine reception includes a presentation by Laumes.
